"One main goal of coaching is to develop the potential of a person. Applied sport psychology uses many techniques to promote peak performance in athletes. This presentation will give an overview of the systematic model of sport psychological consulting (Beckmann, 2003) and discuss how elements of this model can be integrated into coaching practice."

The lecture is part of a series of lectures titled "Coaching - research and practice", which is sponsored by the EMCC. The lecture series aims to build a bridge between research and praxis in coaching and at the same time embed coaching practices in the research discourse. The intention is to hear from researchers, who explore coaching from a business, health or sports related angle. The Coaching Psychology Unit at the University of Copenhagen was established in order to launch and coordinate interdisciplinary research, education and dissemination in coaching.
